Discover the beauty of being present through this four-week course on compassion and everyday mindfulness.
Imagine feeling truly present for the small wonders of your life—those simple moments that often slip by unnoticed. In this introductory mindfulness course, I’ll guide you through gentle practices that help you slow down, breathe deeply, and provide tools to help you practice meeting life with presence.
What You’ll Experience
Over the course of four weeks beginning April 21, 2026, you’ll learn foundational mindfulness meditation and compassion practices designed to support presence in everyday life.
Each week will include:
-
A live zoom call each Tuesday at 5 pm PST/8pm EST with a supportive community to explore practical mindfulness tools
-
A short guided meditation practice
-
Follow-up meditation recording you can continue using beyond the course
This course is designed to be accessible, welcoming, and supportive for both beginners and those returning to practice.
Why This Course?
I’ve spent over two decades practicing Buddhism and have walked through my own journey of healing and transformation. I know firsthand how these practices can become anchors of calm and clarity in the midst of life’s busyness.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a meaningful toolkit of practices to help you feel more grounded, present, and open to the beauty of each day.
